Hi Group,
I am sitting here setting up my machine for the first time, I have a 4' X 4' rack and pinion machine. Please follow my logic here and see if I and right or wrong.
My X axis has 2 motors on it, one on the right of the table and the other on the left, these motors must be slaved to each other. The Y and Z just have one motor each.
The G540 has 4 motor drivers X Y Z and A. The X and A must be set up in Mach3 with the same step and direction pins from the port to drive both the X axis motors???
Does it matter what I call X and what I call Y? I want to call the front/back motion of the table the X, the left/right motion of the table the Y. Will this effect G code?
